its hard for us to speak as we feel.
but a poem has no rules to keep,
no untruth to shake us from our sleep.
no one to tell me i'm crazy when I repeat
the same words like a broken broken broken record,
or when I string them o ut
in
nonsensi cal pa
tter
ns
like those girls out on the street,
because these words can bend and SCREAM.
no one ever said poetry is s'pos to make sense
just s'pos to be free
spoken from the unedited souls
of you and me
